Dear Brethren .a
Most sincerely do I thank you, and all
who have joined with you, for your KIN
address and testimonial.
Both Mrs. Romig and myself appreciate
this token of your esteem and all the more
because ofthelove and affection we havefor this
congregation and community. We nave ex'
perienced 80 much kindness and courtesy from
all classes during the IL years OF our soJourn
in this island, and have lived in such pleasant
and happy relations with the congregation,
that it would be strange indeed if we we're
not warmly attached to St. Croix, and
especially to Friedensthal, and if we did not
keenly feel the separation so near at hand.
To US the parting is all the more sad since
it not only terminates our ministry IN this
congregation, but also brings to a close our
work as active agents IN the West India
Mission field. After 90 years of labor, 1t
has pleased the Lord to call me from the
battle field to the council chamber but we
trust that, in our future home, we may still
be permitted to work for Him and for your
welfare. Our separation will not lessen our
interest in the work. We shall be IN active
correspondence with your ministers, and hope
to be kept acquainted with all that concerns
your veal and woe.
Nav the Great Head of the Church con.
tinue to bless His work in your midst and in
this Community. May He grant such album
dant blessing that every member may be.

your going away forever from among us.
But as it is so ordained by an all wise pro-
vidence, and the parting is inevitable, we
can only bow in humble submission to His
will-that our Pastor and Friend is to be ia

done.
We know and feel assured that you have
we'll and faithfully fulfilled the high duties
entrusted to you, and though we as a congre-

you for your earnest labours OF love among
US, your reward doubtless is sure, not In
earthly treasures, but those laid up IN Hea-

And now as you 60 forth from among US

assured, that you will always remember us
with kindness and sympathy, and our prayers
are, that the Lord may go with you and your
beloved family, that Heaven may shower its
